How does pH affect enzyme-catalyzed reactions? How does affect enzyme-catalyzed reactions? Energy stored in protons is used to d

rive endergonic reactions. The concentration of protons affects an enzyme's folded structure and reactivity. Proton concentration increases the kinetic energy of the reactants, enabling them to reach their transition state. Protons serve as substrates for most reactions.

Answer:

The concentration of protons affects an enzyme's folded structure and reactivity.

Explanation:

Enzymes act within narrow pH limits (optimal reaction pH). Since most enzymes have a protein structure, the variation in pH or temperature affects their enzymatic activity.

To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme binds to one or more reagent molecules. These molecules are the substrates of the enzyme.

In some reactions, a substrate breaks into several products. In others, two substrates join together to create a larger molecule or to exchange parts. In fact, for any biological reaction that can occur to you, there is probably an enzyme to accelerate it.

The part of the enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site.

The amino acid residues of the active site often have acidic or basic properties that are important for catalysis. Changes in pH can affect these residues and make binding with the substrate difficult.

Could Rutherford make any conclusions about electrons based on the result of experiment?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

They are so small that they barely make up any of the mass of the atom, and they are so miniscule that during Rutherford 's Gold foil experiment ,they didn't even react with the alpha particles. They circle the nucleus on a ring. shown through Rutherford Atomic Model

What would diluting the vinegar do to the rate of a reaction between vinegar and sodium hydroxide? decrease the rate of reaction
GarryVolchara [31]
Vinegar is aceti acid diluted in water.

The reaction of vinegar with sodium hydroxide is:

CH3COOH + NaOH ---> CH3COONa + H2O

That is an acid-base reaction.

The speed of reaction is proportional to the concentrations of the reactants.

Then, given thatn when you dilute the vinegar you decrease the concentration of CH3COOH, the rate of reaction will decrease.

Answer: decrease the rate of reaction.
